Another wonderful piece of poetic observation Barbara. While living in the UK I never really enjoyed watermelons. Now, in Italy, I love them. I mentioned this to my Italian friends while eating watermelon after a barbeque this summer, and they summed it up by saying that in the UK they are more water than melon! Always love your writing. Love, Nigel

Wonderful flow! I like 'sitting/spitting' and the alliteration of 'watermelon/watching.' Well done Barbara! Best wishes, Keith

So many writes today talk about memories and lovely ones at that. I remember days such as these. This is perfect in form, flow and clarity. Very well written. Michael
